The Eiffel Tower is a beautiful structure located in Paris, France. The Eiffel Tower was named after Gustave Eiffel who also designed and constructed. The construction started on January 28, 1887 and completed on March 31, 1889. When the tower finished, it was at the height of 1,063 ft. It was made of iron and weighs around 10,000 tons. It took about 25 teams of people to paint 50 tons of paint to the Eiffel Tower to protect it from rust. The french name for Eiffel Tower is La Tour Eiffel, and is nicknamed La dame de fer which means the iron lady. The Eiffel Tower was built for the World’s Fair to demonstrate that iron could be as heavy as stone, but lighter at the same time. You can see around 37 miles from the top of the Eiffel Tower. I hope to go to Paris one day and see the Eiffel Tower.
